Nice stretches along the Baie des Anges, between the seafront façades and the older streets of the centre. Hotel Le Negresco is on the Promenade des Anglais, facing the Mediterranean. The neighbourhood combines city beaches, gardens and Belle Époque buildings; it suits seaside walks as well as museum visits and days spent exploring Nice’s heritage.

The beach on the Baie des Anges is 90 m away, and the Musée Masséna, housed in a Belle Époque villa, is nearby. Walking east, the Jardin Albert Ier and Place Masséna lead to Avenue Jean-Médecin and Old Nice, with its narrow streets, colourful façades and the market on Cours Saleya. Nice-Ville railway station is 1.2 km away, making it easy to travel to other towns on the French Riviera. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 3.4 km away. Castle Hill offers views of the port, Old Nice and the bay.

The seafront is easy to explore on foot, alternating swimming, walking and breaks in the gardens. In spring and autumn, the temperatures are often pleasant for walking around; summer brings a lively beach atmosphere and larger crowds. For a varied day out, you can start at the Musée Masséna, then walk along the Promenade des Anglais before heading to Old Nice to explore its narrow streets and markets. In winter, the museums and historic districts are still pleasant to explore, while sunny days are also an invitation to walk along the bay.
